THE NEW JERSEY MUSIC EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION a federated state association of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION for MUSIC EDUCATION News From Our Division Chairs
Our early deliberations are focused on presenting extended-concentrated sessions in all areas. If you are interested in develop- ing a session, please complete and return the presenter request form on the Workshop website, via email, to njmeasummerwork-
shop@gmail.com or
akinskas@rowan.edu , on or before April 1, 2019. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank last summer’s presenters who truly exemplify the high level of talent we
are fortunate to have in New Jersey, and are willing to share their talents and techniques with our statewide constituency. Take a minute to access our website on the NJMEA conferences link, to scan the pictures which reflect an enjoyable and productive day. We look forward to another beneficial day for all in attendance. Think summer!

And the survey says… You asked. We listen.
Your opinion REALLY counts. What would you like to see at next year’s workshop that you did/have not seen in the past?
• More on technology • Ways in which school music programs can serve / benefit their communities. • Choral warm-up ideas, rehearsal strategies, behavior management • A session on different kinds of music technology would be great. I know there was one last year that was fantastic! • Love to see more diversity in ensembles. Something for musical theater directors. • Music & technology - free and low cost apps/programs - how to better utilize • Choral Expert such as Joan Gregoryk or Music Performance Education expert Jerry Kerlin from NYU (if you can get him) • A really good string improv session • Cross curricular concepts- how to incorporate STEM in music • This was my first workshop. Will leave this for those that have been to multiple. • Singing Harmonic Solfegge/ Workshop of Music Teacher Retirees • More string offerings! • Double reed recruitment and retention • I would appreciate better session descriptions in the handout or on the website. At times, it was unclear what the focus of the session would be. A multicultural music and games workshop turned into watching youtube videos the whole time. The workshop about teaching the hard to reach student appeared to be a Quaver commercial.
• Like mentioned above - workshop on conducting and or rehearsal techniques for all grade levels • More workshops on centers in general music elementary classes
If you could attend only one workshop all day, what would it be? What do YOU feel is the most important session you could attend to benefit you and your program?
• General music class ideas • Anything related to multi-cultural music with hands-on activities. • Choral rehearsal strategies • Instrumental techniques • The session on utilizing rock instrumentation in classroom music
